Berkeley Economic Review Invitation

Berkeley Economic Review-- the premier undergraduate economics journal at the University of California, Berkeley-- is currently accepting submissions for its eighth volume.

Our journal is seeking essays, op-eds, theses and research papers from undergraduate students across the U.S. and internationally. We offer a great opportunity for students to publish their work in a professional and academic journal. Not only is it a chance to share your research with the larger economic community, but having published scholarly work is also helpful if you’re interested in applying graduate schools in the future..

So if you have completed an excellent paper or honours thesis, we strongly encourage you to submit to our journal. Please limit essays or op-eds to a maximum of five pages single spaced, however, there is no maximum for theses or original research papers. Submissions must be written in English or translated into English by the original author. All pieces will be considered for our 2019 fall volume.

Monarch Alternative Capital is a New York based alternative asset manager with approximately $5.0 billion in assets under management. They are recruiting for a 1st year Undergraduate to work as a Summer Intern.

The ideal candidate would also be highly computer literate, proactive, demonstrate a strong work ethic and a desire to learn. They are a small team and therefore a significant emphasis will be placed on cultural fit. There is the potential for the right candidate to return for additional work in subsequent vacations, although it must be stressed that no permanent position can result from this internship. As a result it would ideally suit a 1st year undergraduate.

The candidate would be based at their office in Marylebone, London.

Please send your CV and a cover letter to before the 31st March 2019 to Marie Jones, Office Manager, marie.jones@monarchlp.com
